Trier Misses Out on Top Cannes Prize Again
- Joachim Trier received the Cannes Film Festival's Grand Prix runner-up award in 2025 for his film Sentimental Value, which was filmed in Oslo and features Elle Fanning in a starring role.
- Trier sent Fanning the script, which she read while crying by the final page, and the film deals with a quietly fractured Norwegian family amidst themes of woundedness and grief.
- The film was rehearsed and filmed inside a charming, historic wooden house in Oslo that serves as an integral element of the story, with the cast playing an artistic family facing difficulties in communication.
- Sentimental Value received a 19-minute standing ovation at Cannes, was seen by Trier's supportive family, and critics widely regarded it as a contender for the Palme d'Or and best film of the year.
- Trier dedicated the award to his grandfather, a WWII Norwegian resistance member, and described making the film as a very personal, emotional process infused with therapeutic silences and ‘magic’ on set.
